SURGERY SOLUTION OF ERECTION PROBLEMS: HOW INFLATABLE IMPLANT INSTALLS
Surgery to install an inflatable implant is usually done under a general or spinal anesthetic, and not a local, because the operation is more extensive. And with this type of implant, a two to four day hospital stay is the norm.
The surgeon gets access to the body through the scrotum, or through an incision in the lower abdomen, above the penis. He then cuts into the corpora cavernosa. All the components are usually inserted through one incision and placed in their proper locales. Before the patient is sewn up, the reservoir is filled with fluid—usually a solution of water and contrast material so the fluid will show up on an X-ray. Then the tubing which connects each part is hooked up. And all the components are tested to make sure they work.
Some surgeons prefer to leave the prosthesis partially inflated, others leave it completely flaccid. If s typical for a catheter to be inserted into the bladder for a day or so. And while the patient is still under the anesthetic, the doctor will pump the implant up and down several times to make sure everything is in working order.
In general, it takes a little longer to recover from inflatable implant surgery than from an operation to put in a semirigid prosthesis, because the surgery takes longer and is more complicated. If s typical to have a bruised and swollen penis and scrotum following surgery (ice bags on the area can help), and if s common to feel a burning sensation the first few times that you urinate. You’ll want to take a week or two off from work, and to take it easy while recovering.
